The killing of Ben Kinsella demands a new approach from the media<p>At this moment in time Britain is facing an epidemic of knife crime. Whether you live in the country or the city you can't turn on the news without hearing about another teenager being killed on our streets.</p><p>But this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Coming from a council estate in <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2006/oct/26/ishackneyreal" title="Hackney">Hackney</a>, I am all too aware of the realities facing our young people. This is not a new phenomenon - it has been happening for a long time. I remember getting knives pulled out on me when I was 15 and that was 11 years ago. I also remember being at secondary school in the early 90s when a kid in our year was stabbed. It was a big deal and everyone was talking about it, but the common conception back then was that if someone got stabbed, although it was not good, there must have been some sort of reason for it.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jun/14/knife-crime-ben-kinsella">Continue reading...</a>Knife crimePoliticsSocietyUK newsFilmMediaYoung peopleCrimeYouth justiceGangsSun, 14 Jun 2009 15:29:14 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jun/14/knife-crime-ben-kinsellaAdam Deacon2009-06-14T15:29:14Z
